Glad to hear from you. I am 5'7" and now 65 (big ugh). Pre Tx I weighed 160 and lost 30 to Tx and as you know an avid cyclist. I couldn't gain a pound my 1st year post Tx but I really didn't mind because I found riding hills was easier. Flash forward 7 years I still exercise 6 to 7 days a week and am currently gearing up for my next Century in Nov and I weigh 136 and I personally feel that I am in better shape at 65 than I was pre Tx at 58.
